  • Patent number: 9510795
    Abstract: Radiographic X-ray equipment includes a revolution driving device that causes an X-ray irradiating member and an X-ray imaging member to perform a revolving movement around a subject with a revolution center line as the center, and a main body control unit that controls the revolution driving device, a secondary driving device controlled by the main body control unit to cause the X-ray imaging member to perform a local movement different from the revolving movement, with a movement width in a predetermined direction, a storing means that stores electric power for the X-ray imaging member, and a supplying means that supplies electric power to the storing means. The X-ray imaging member and the storing means are connected to each other, and the secondary driving device causes the storing means and the X-ray imaging member to perform the local movement as a unit without moving relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 9480453
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging device wherein a control section rotates an arcuate movement arm by actuating a turn-driving unit, turns an X-ray source and an X-ray sensor around a subject, and actuates a shifting unit to simultaneously shift the transmission part of the subject, through which an X-ray flux detected by the X-ray sensor passing. Thus provided is an X-ray imaging device in which an X-ray imaging unit having a comparatively narrow detection area can be used to reduce costs, the imaging operation efficiency can be improved, and the vibration of moved members, such as the X-ray imaging unit, can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8979366
    Abstract: An X-ray photographing device includes an X-ray irradiating unit (10) for irradiating an object (5) with an X-ray beam (6) having a slit shape from a source (11a), and an imaging member (7) provided with a surface (7a) to receive the X-ray beam. A pivot drive unit causes the irradiating unit (10) and the imaging member (7) to pivot about a pivoting center line (La) around the object (5), and a sub-drive unit (30) causes the imaging member (7) to have a local motion in a circumferential direction with a shift width (Mw). A width (W2) of the surface (7a) in the circumferential direction is smaller than the shift width (Mw) and the local motion is a local rotation motion made on the rotation center line (Lc). This configuration reduces the cost of the device, reduces vibrations of the imaging member (7), and enhances operating efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8396186
    Abstract: A dental x-ray photographing device includes a rotating means (3) for rotating an arm (2) which supports an x-ray source (11) and an x-ray imaging means (12), a sliding means (4) for linearly moving the x-ray imaging means (12). The dental x-ray photographing device obtains a first set of projection images which goes through a first region by moving the x-ray imaging means (12) to a first detection position, obtains a second set of projection images which goes through a second region by moving the x-ray imaging means (12) to a second detection position, and paste the first set of projection images and the second set of projection images together.
